Hurricane Dorian were edging into the coastal sections of South
Carolina where tropical-storm-force northerly winds were
strengthening.  Meanwhile, the outer rainbands of Dorian were
pushing farther inland across eastern South Carolina and southern
North Carolina where Tornado Warnings had been issued for parts of

rainbands were rotating across the region but they should begin to
gradually pull out to sea soon.  Finally, rainbands over
northeastern Florida had just moved out into the Atlantic.  Below
are preliminary rainfall and wind observations associated with
Dorian. For more information regarding the location and forecast
